aka Marie Charles, Marie Michael, Marie Nicole, Marie Ferrarella
Marie Rydzynski was born on March 28 in West Germany to Polish parents. She moved to America at the age of four. For an entire year, Marie and her family explored the eastern half of the country before finally settling in New York.
Marie swears she was born writing, "which must have made the delivery especially hard for my mother." From an early age, Marie's parents would find her watching television or tucked away in some private place, writing at a furious pace. "Initially, I began writing myself into my favourite shows. I was a detective on '77 Sunset Strip,' the missing Cartwright sibling they never talked about on 'Bonanza' and the 'Girl from U.N.C.L.E.' before there was a 'Girl from U.N.C.L.E.,' not to mention an active participant in the serialized stories of 'The Mickey Mouse Club.'" Marie began to write her first romance novel when she was 11 years old, although she claims that, at the time, she didn't even realize it was a romance! She scribbled off and on, while dreaming of a career as an actress.
Marie was only 14 when she first laid eyes on the man she would marry, truly her first love, Charles Ferrarella. During her days at Queens College, New York, acting started to lose its glamour as Marie spent more and more time writing. After receiving her English degree, specialising in Shakespearean comedy, Marie and her family moved to Southern California, where she still resides today.
After an interminable seven weeks apart, Charles decided he couldn't live without her and came out to California to marry his childhood sweetheart. Ever practical, Marie was married in a wash-and-wear wedding dress that she sewed herself, appliqués and all. "'Be prepared' has always been my motto,"the author jokes. This motto has been stretched considerably by her two children, Nikky and Jessi, "but basically, it still applies," she says.
In November of 1981, she sold her first novel for Harlequin. Marie, who now has written over 150 novels, has one goal: to entertain, to make people laugh and feel good. "That's what makes me happy," she confesses. "That, and a really good romantic evening with my husband." She's keeping her fingers crossed that her reader's enjoy reading her books as much as she enjoyed writing them.

One of the better stories in this series.
Jared and Maren.
He’s undercover police and she’s managing the restaurant that he comes to as an assistant chef.

An undercover detective story. As it goes, these happen to be my favourites because of all that they entail and because I want to be an undercover cop too.
But sadly, this story lags on all the adventure that could have been.
Jared Cavanaugh (who undercover becomes Jared Stevens - a chef) wants to stick close to the truth so that he doesn't trip on his own words. Though he has been doing it for the better part of his career, he fails to understand that it is always better to build something new altogether because you stick to a single shred of truth you increase the chances of your cover being blown.
Maren Minnesota, a restaurant manager, has had all the heartbreak she could handle with the death of her baby daughter. After which she has closed herself emotionally so as not to succumb to walk a path that would have her heart broken again.
What begins for Cavanaugh as a means to pump information out of the manager turns in to the most serious and most fabulous of all in his life. He tries his best not to sabotage his assignment while at the same time he doesn't want to lose the once in a lifetime love that he ha found with Maren.
While Maren on the other hand is very wary of all these feelings emotions that take hold of her and that are all centred on one man - Jared. She tries real hard to keep her heart shielded but Cupid's arrow has pierced all those barriers and reached its target making her fall in love with a charming man.
Though they are both in love with each other, the question remains that is their love strong enough to survive all the lies and the consequences that they brought in their wake.

I like the Cavanaugh Justice series - the family is pretty cool and deep into law enforcement.
I wish this was one of the longer format books.
